Disabled user account and cannot connect to my computer.

I have Windows XP Media Center.  Unfortunately, I disabled the user account (which I think could be the admin account) for the windows session log and can no longer be beyond the log on screen.  Is any way to re - activate this account so I can access my computer again?

Hi TimYR,

Try to boot your pc in safe mode and log in as administrator, you will be able to restore the account.

I hope this helps.

  • I can connect to my administrator Local account, but cannot connect to a newly created Local Standard account. How can I fix?

    Hello
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 bit on my main PC that uses an SSD. Recently, when I was about to create new profiles of user account for my children, I came across a few connection issues on newly created accounts.
    Here's a breakdown of what exactly is going on:
    1) turn on the computer. Starts Windows normally, auto-journalisation me on my administrator account. Nothing unusual appears, just the regular, the windows desktop and files.
    (2) I go into my control panel (category view) | Accounts of users and parental control-link under click on "Add or remove user accounts". Click on "create a new account | Entered the name (for this example, I'll call it reverse) | Apply the account type "Standard account" | Click on "create account". Close all open windows. Click Start and then click 'Quit' from the menu
    (3) once I clicked on 'Leave', it says "logging OFF... "or something similar, and I just click on the new icon for the newly created account that I just made. Very quickly, the screen flashes "Welcome" then flashes black and then reloads the blue background with the words "Logging Off". It flashes black once again and brings me to choose one account screen, where I see my newly created account and my administrator account
    (4) I try clicking on the icon of the new account again, the same thing is happening. I'm trying to connect to my administrator account, it works perfectly
    (5) Event Viewer records these specific messages:

    (6) I have already run the "sfc/scannow" command in and out of safe mode. Windows reports that no files have been tampered with
    (7) I don't have any system on this SSD, the restore points
    8) ran an antivirus scan (although this machine is not connected to the internet that often, mostly used to store local applications for local use)
    I am open to ANY suggestion and someone has solutions capable of solving this new auto account sign out of the question. I'm afraid that the reload of the operating system on my computer is too expensive (data wise) right now. Its connected to a HARD drive with programs.

    Sorry I took so long to come back - but I have a lot on my plate right now.
    Have you tried to create an administrator account?
    If it works, can change you it to a Standard user account?

    Check if the computer browser service and the Server service are started.  If this isn't the case, please start them.

    Check if the different events and error reporting services are started.  If this isn't the case, please start them.

    You remove/tweak the OS installation on the SSD drive?  If some settings have prevented appropriate services of loading (so that the applet of Control Panel does not work)?  If this is the case, I would have to suggest a backup, wipe and a reinstallation of Windows without any adjustment being made (at least until you have setup the Standard user accounts).

    Good luck!

  • Management of user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8

    Hello

    I'll post a thread on how to manage the user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8.

    A user account allows you to connect to Windows 8. By default, your computer already has a user account that you have been
    needed to create when you configure Windows 8. If you want to share your computer, you can create a separate for each Member of your household or office user account. You can also choose to associate any user account with a Microsoft account. Signature with a Microsoft account will bring all your SkyDrive files, contacts and more in the start screen. You can even connect to another computer that has Windows 8 and all your important files will be there.

    Here is a video on how to manage the user accounts and Parental control in Windows 8.

    Also, here is a document showing you how to manager Our user on Windows 8.

    If you have any questions let me know.

  • How to remove the user account from the connection Start Page (therefore restart goes directly to the desktop without the need for any clickthru)?

    On my Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit system, all I had to do was to remove all the accounts (other than 'administrator') in addition to my login information main user account and remove the password of the Admin account and I use a main user account, and then whenever I reboot, reboot goes all the way to the Windows desktop (i.e. through it does not stop with a cover page showing the user account).

    -It does not seem that this approach works for my Vista SP2 Business Edition 32 bit.  In fact - I get TWO accounts of user with the exact name even appear (my account "DougL12"), as well as the "Administrator" account  None of these accounts have passwords (I can just click on one of them, which brings up a screen to enter a password, then click again without entering any PW, and then I get thru on my desk).

    When I go to 'User accounts' control Panal and select 'Manage another account', windows displays a screen showing three accounts:

    (1) "Guest" (power off);

    (2) "DougL12" (hey I am running, whose B-T-W has privileges admin; also do not have a password); and

    (3) 'administrator' (which, if I choose only, is not an option 'disable', although it has not one)

    (password).

    NOTE: page does not display "" versions of the user account "DougL12", although the login screen that is telling.

    so:

    (1) what do I do to eliminate the appearance of user accounts / Login Screen (i.e., default to my main user

    Account, "DougL12" and should not click)?

    (2) any thoughts as to why the system could be displaying two Occurrences of the user account Login "DougL12" on the

    login screen?

  • Corruption, massive in almost all of the network services user account and firewall Windows

    Win 7 Pro SP 1. An account with administrator privileges. Domestic wireless access to a router; D-link devices. System was working fine until about seven 2 (and I pointed out some Windows updates installed September 1, but don't think it's relevant). Computer users allege no unusual behavior on their part Analyses of viruses from Windows Defender and Avast free were clear. Restoring from a previous restore point (two different ones) has not solved the problem - the restore points were date known system OK. Corruption has been maintained despite the restorations (worked and failed).

    A complaint that has lost network access. On the survey, found that all these symptoms mentioned below, and no doubt other symptoms exist that I am not aware of. The solution was to create a new user account, and which restored massive configuration problems.

    Symptoms:

    1 Windows Firewall could not turn on. Yes, I looked at the KBs regarding this issue (basic dependencies does not and so on) and tried individual hotfixes from the KB, without success.

    2. in the network sharing Center, there was no display of the usual icons at the top of this window. Those who show the personal computer connected to the router connected to the internet. Error message displayed re no dependence of base.

    3. it is possible to send signals between the USB wireless device on the computer and the wireless router. In the task area, the Windows message was 'limited connectivity', something like that. It was possible to connect and disconnect using this facility. But no internet access, notes.

    4. the resolution of the problems would not be executed. The message was that political diagnostics are not running. All attempts to start this service (with its two assistance services) has failed. Tried the individual patches of the relevant KB (wearing mostly on change permissions in the registry at some points), which failed.

    5. in addition, the Dhcp client service would not be executed. Once again, among the KBs tried the proposed fix on the permissions change, which failed. (Omitted in the sense that I could not always start the service; editing the registry was fine).

    5. firewall KB contained a file "beats" that you can create and run, I did, and another had similar commands (start and stop some services) that could be run in a command window. Both failed on some services - especially Mspsvc (Microsoft protection Service) - Although the success was shown to other services.

    6. when I created a new user profile, I re-entered the registry permissions in some of these places just to see what was different. In the damaged user profile, what was missing, it was the standard system of services (about 3 or 4 of them; things like the name of Dhcp). What showed was the News user account (for the specific user account; administrator; and two more points).

    Telling me that something has released a complete subsystem or three. Never seen this behaviour before.

    Would be nice to have an idea where to look for a fix / restore procedure.

    Hello

    Thank you for providing us with brief information on the specific issue that you are facing the computer.

    I would like to know, have you been able to access the network on the new user profile?

    As you have tried several steps including the change of permission for the registry value and run the batch file, I would ask to perform Scan SFC.

    System File Checker is a Windows utility that allows users to find corruptions in Windows system files and restore the damaged files.

    For more information on how to scan SFC, please see the Microsoft Support Article below.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Let us know the results of the SFC Scan, so that we can help you further.
